About Hindson House

Hindson House is a residential care home in Basingstoke. We support older people and younger adults, including people with a learning disability, autistic people, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Supporting a mix of people works when it is done thoughtfully, and we put effort into making sure everyone has the routine, space and company that suits them rather than a compromise that suits nobody. Some people here want a busy week with plenty going on outside the house. Others want quiet and familiarity. Both are properly catered for. We plan from the person. What they want to be able to do, how they communicate, what they can manage alone, what they want help with and what they would rather we left well alone. Independence is the aim from the first day rather than something handed back later, and where something looks difficult we work out how to make it possible instead of looking for a reason to avoid it. For people with sensory loss we adapt how we approach and communicate, so care never arrives unannounced. For autistic people we pay close attention to environment and pace, and we treat a preference as information rather than a problem. Respite stays are available for planned breaks. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at options in Hampshire, come and visit. We would rather you saw the house on a normal day.
